Where to stay in Paddock Hills
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Tennessee Avenue splits Paddock Hills in two, with chemical works, a lumber yard and the Midland Subdivision rail line holding the ground north of it and the housing lanes filling the slope below. The lanes are the quiet part. Sunnyslope Drive, Egan Hills Drive, Clearbrook Drive, and Springmeadow Drive sit on the Paddock Road side, with Paddock Hills Avenue running between them and Reading Road.
Drivers do best here, with Interstate 75 and Interstate 71 both minutes off the Norwood Lateral ramps.

About Paddock Hills
What are the main landmarks in Paddock Hills?
Avon Fields Golf Course spreads over the southern end of Paddock Hills, a municipal course of eighteen holes kept by the Cincinnati Recreation Commission, its fairways running across the line into North Avondale. Reading Road carries the civic weight. Fire Station 9 and the Cincinnati Police District 4 headquarters stand along it a few blocks apart.
The Paddock and Tennessee Recreation Area sits just west of where Paddock Road crosses Tennessee Avenue.
What is the history of Paddock Hills?
Paddock Hills dates from 1919. Its developers filled the slopes with Dutch Colonial Revival houses, Tudor Revival houses and bungalows, and that housing stock is what the neighborhood is still known for. Rail came earlier: a station once stood where Paddock Road crosses Tennessee Avenue, and freight still moves on the Midland Subdivision across the northern half.
Then the expressway cut through. The first stretch of the Norwood Lateral opened on July 15, 1960, running from Interstate 75 to Reading Road, and the segment east to Montgomery Road followed on December 12, 1972.
Where is Paddock Hills?
